About HB-2841

Imposes certain requirements on Chinese telecommunications, software, and electronics companies that were denied export privileges on or after a certain date. Such a company shall be eligible for export privileges only if it certifies to the Department of Justice that it will

  • (1) abide by all U.S. laws,
  • (2) not engage in cyber espionage, and
  • (3) not infringe intellectual property

To obtain export privilege eligibility, the company shall also establish with the Department of the Treasury a $2.5 billion account to pay any patent infringement judgments against it. An entity seeking a preliminary injunction against such a company in an infringement lawsuit shall not be required to establish that irreparable harm would result if the injunction is not granted.
